INQUIRY

Turangawaewae


Our class did inquiry in groups on the following questions:
  • What makes me special
  • What makes our whanau special
  • What makes Riverslea School Special
Each group took the following steps:
  1. A brainstorm using inspiration on IPADS
  2. Then did "Te Mahi" group poster on information for their question
  3. Then using Comic life on IPAdS collated information
  4. Groups then shared work done with senior students in the school for their reflection
  5. Then students completed an individual assessment of the Inquiry experience for them
Student reflection:
Voice of Sire-Ray- when we wrote about the things on our IPAD and when people helped me with some words .it was fun and enjoyable .
